I had diverticulitis for several years and took Capri. Diverticulitis is pockets in the colon where seeds, popcorn kernels, nuts, can get caught and infected. Diverticulosis means that instead of pockets, you have bulges. I eventually had a sigmoidectomy, laparoscopically. Which was no big deal. I have never had another problem and now eat popcorn daily, nuts, seeds and anything else I want. Totally worth it. No resulting problems.
